Good idea / bad idea??

[Deiblerj]

Anyone ever use these to move a stand and tank?

 

[Jay Z]

yep. Works good if you can get them under with out splashing all the water out.

Or if you plan ahead, you leave them under the tank when you set it up.

Here is what’s going on...

Moving my tank and stand today to a new home. Where we are putting the tank there is not outlet and the electrician can’t make it for a couple weeks. Was going to put stand on these slider things and run a heavy duty extension cord to power everything. Once the electrician can make it I’ll lower the water level and carefully slide the stand away from the wall. Once he’s done, slide it back in place and fill it back up to normal level.

I’m concerned with putting pressure on the seams moving the tank though

 

[Jay Z]

Should be good, slow steady movements. I move a many of tanks around like this.

I have never used them with more than a few inches of water in my tank... don't think I'd try that... your better off leaving it out a foot or 2 from where it needs to be, then removing as much water as possible, especially if it's a glass tank...
